Ahh good effort!! Did you ride up the road or find some trails ??
top stuff troutie!
Looks like perfect weather out there. v jealous.
Mrs S loved climbing the cols round Luchon on her road bike while I had the pleasure of AQR's guiding. Wonderful part of the world.
went up from St Maria du campon
then up to the Pic du Midi then back down.
Clocked 70 kph on the way down and overtook 11 cars 😯
the noise from the tyres was like a Stuka dive bomber
Bolloxed today so riding the nukeproof for a rest
70ks on 6psi????
Brave boy 😆
Not the obvious choice of bike 🙂
Good work!
Awesome.
Does the guy in the first pic have a false leg then?
Had 10 psi was pretty impressive how well it went round the corners
Yes Ian has some bits missing
bonkers.
love it.
Great pics. I very nearly took my fatty out to the alps for a laugh this year, only deciding not too as I would've died trying to ride it in Verbier and put others around me at risk from falling off their bikes laughing. Tight switchbacks on a fat bike might have been 'character building' 😀
Looks a giggle on a Fatty up there.

You should have taken it best laugh for ages for me on the downs
but not laughing on the tarmac ups
Looks great.
Don't forget when you get back to do my light cable quickly please
plus check your UKfatbike forum PM's please.
See you in 2 1/2 weeks
Sterling effort!!
I rode my motorbike up there last year, and remember thinking how hard it would be on a push bike!
Yes Ian has some bits missing
Ian H by any chance?
Good effort. 🙂
Excellent
Te he! Good work!
No video footage of the Stuhka diving?
Going for the 'Least appropriate bike for the job' award?
Good effort!

Yep Ian says Hi
Bit of roady down the Peyresourde
Troutie - did you go up from the Col du Tourmalet to the Col de Sencour (ruins) then up onto the Pic du Midi? and straight back to the Tourmalet?
There's some ace singletrack if you drop from Sencour then turn right down past the little lakes and down towards the ski stations at Super-Barrege (I think) and Tournaboup. We ran that way on the Grand Raid des Pyrenees and it was my favourite bit of the whole course, jogging down thinking "I wish I had a bike down this bit..."
yes we went up but did not know the name at the time
down again past the small lake and some did go to the new ski station and back up the road but I was bolloxed so picked the Tourmalet up 2 hairpins from the top
and stupidly had forgot the helmet cam for the roady ride back down 😥
